Fighting Vipers, Virtua Fighter 2 and Sonic the Fighters will arrive on the US PSN update of November 27, before arriving on the European PSN on December 5, according to the Sega Blog.

Microsoft’s Major Nelson tweeted a reminder that the games will also be rolling out across all territories on Xbox 360 this week. Each game will set you back $4.99/£3.69/€4.49/400 MS Points.

Virtua Fighter 2 releaed in arcades in 1994 and was one of the Saturn’s show pieces in 1995; it’s still spoken of fondly. Sonic the Fighters arrived in 1996 and to be honest it’s pretty rubbish, but some fans of the hedgehog seem to like it anyway. Fighting Vipers is another 1996 effort and is a firm cult favourite, introducing interesting concepts like destructible body armour and managing not to look like absolute ballsacks 16 years on – no mean feat.

But all three games have received loving visual brushups; see the screens below, ripped from the Xbox Live Marketplace bu NeoGAF.

We reported on Sonic the Fighters this morning, but the other two have appeared on an age-certification document.

The confirmation came from the below document, spotted online today by the GAF community. No release date has been revealed so far.

If you’re unfamiliar with Fighting Vipers, it’s an ace brawler that debuted in arcades in 1995, and hit Sega Saturn in 1996. Check out Classic Game Room’s video review below.

Here’s all the smaller stuff coming out of GDC, coupled with loads of smaller stuff thatr isn’t coming out of GDC. It’s like a fusion of smaller stuff.

Epic’s Mark Rein reckons iPad2 is “fantastic for gaming”. See him say it on Venturebeat.

Chair told GDC yesterday that aiming for decent graphics with Infinity Blade meant cutting loads of content. More on Gamefront.
